I don't think 'three haskell tutorials' is ever enough to teach you a completely new programming language/paradigm. You wouldn't learn C in 'three C tutorials' either, would you?
Perhaps a Haskell book with a project or two would be a better alternative?
- JasonFruit 9y agoNo, but if well done, it could be enough for me to say, "I get why this is worth pursuing further." I've had the same experience as the person above: Haskell tutorials seem to say, "Look what I can do!" and not, "See how you can do this?"
- castle-bravo 9y agoWell, after a few tutorials you should have noticed that it's a high-level language with clean syntax and a compiler that produces relatively fast binaries. That's a start. What else were you expecting?
- netzone 9y agoSomething that shows me how this is worth spending the time learning, when I could just as easily use another high-level language with clean syntax and a compiler that produces relatively fast binaries - but that are not functional - minus the learning curve.
- castle-bravo 9y agoWell shit. I guess teaching languages designed by academicians aren't for you. Same goes for blog posts written by random amateurs on the internet. A whole three tutorials, too! You should ask for a refund.
- simonh 9y agoI didn’t expect to ‘learn Haskell’, but learning anything at all about how the actual code being presented worked would have been nice.
